London City hold winter sports expo
09.10.07
London City Airport is holding a Winter Expo tomorrow (11:00 - 19:00) and Thursday (11:00 - 23:00) at Broadgate, London EC2. The airport is inviting winter sports fans to join them on either of the two days to see how they can hit the slopes faster.
Broadgate is near Liverpool Street and the City financial district. Every day, thousands of people pass through Liverpool Street station, over 35,000 people working within Broadgate and another 150,000 just a short walk away.
Along with airline partners, Swiss, CityJet and BA, the airport will take up residence across the whole of Broadgate, including The Arena, Exchange Square and Finsbury Avenue Square for the next two days.
The Arena will host an artificial ski slope with snow boarding rails, and sliding and grinding action from the best instructors, including the Warren Smith Ski School.
There will be an 'Air France Ski Blizzard', described as the 'ultimate Ski Simulator' consisting of two Alpine Racers enclosed within a futuristic dome with high-powered fans blowing artificial snow everywhere. The machines are linked so skiers can race a pal over 6 different courses, including slalom and downhill.
Or, for the less energetic, there is the 'British Airways Apres Ski' area, where you can explore and indulge with the sounds of live jazz at Exchange Square, try your hand at a snowboard simulator or simply enjoy a taste of winter with the compliments of BA.
